Chapter 31 Stopping the Carriage
Shopkeeper Qian, who had been rejected, had a normal expression, although it was not ugly, it was a little depressed.

Seeing that his shopkeeper had returned without success, the young man came forward anxiously and asked in a low voice.

"Shopkeeper, what shall we do next?"

"Should I report to the official or pretend not to know?"

It is related to the lives of two people, and the Xiao family has obviously never seen those two girls.

If they go to report to the officials, they will inevitably have to make some inquiries, and they may have to suspend Qingfeng Building for a few days.

"Of course, report to the officials quickly!"

Although shopkeeper Qian was awake, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith were still firmly in his heart, the servant stared at him and couldn't help but sighed in a low voice.

"I just hope everything works out in time."

In fact, these two people have been very fast since they discovered that something was wrong, and now they only delayed about an hour to report to the county government, but they don't know where the gangster took the two girls. What are your plans.

With an idea in mind, the boy trotted towards the county government office with the treasurer Qian on his arm.

Just after running a few steps, there was a loud creaking sound from the gate of Xiao Mansion behind him.

The two turned their heads together, only to see that the closed door was suddenly fully opened, and a small figure walked out from inside.

Under the lantern hanging high at the gate of the mansion, a little girl about five years old came out swayingly, with two little claws on her head bouncing in the air, very cute.

Behind her was the little concierge just now, looking anxiously in the direction of shopkeeper Qian.

"Two wait!"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Qian and the servant hadn't gone far, the little concierge called out anxiously, "My young lady has something to say to you two."

Looking at the little girl who was not even tall enough, Shopkeeper Qian hesitated whether to turn around again. After all, this lady is too young, so she may not understand so many things when I tell her.

But there is no other way in front of him except to go to the government.

The Xiao Mansion didn't know why they asked this little lady to come out to ask questions, which really made the money shopkeeper, Monk Zhang Er, puzzled.

After hesitating again and again, he turned around and quickly returned to Su Qingtian, bowing with both hands.

"Next is Qian Treasurer of Qingfeng Building, he is a servant in my shop."

At this time, two more servants came out with lanterns, and the gate of Xiao Mansion was brightly illuminated by the lights.

Su Qingtian looked Shopkeeper Qian up and down. The man was in his thirties with a medium build, with a hint of sternness all over his body, but there was a kindness in his frowning brows.

"Treasurer Qian came to my Xiao Mansion late at night to ask about the two girls in your store."

Master Su Qingtian put his hands behind his back in an appearance, and said casually in a spirited tone.

Shopkeeper Qian didn't hear about Miss Xiao's mansion, and mistakenly thought that it was the concierge who told her what he had said earlier.

He hurriedly asked, "Indeed, I wonder if those two girls are visiting Xiao's residence?"

"After all, they are residents of my store. Please give me some accurate words, so that I can go back and explain to their families."

The little concierge at the side was a little anxious.

He curled his lips, thinking that he would have to say this inexplicable nonsense a few times before giving up!
Since the young lady was by his side, he didn't dare to swear.

"You guessed right, those two girls are indeed not in my Xiao residence."

Before Shopkeeper Qian could speak, Su Qingtian said straight to the point, "It is true that someone pretended to be a soldier of the Xiao Mansion and took them away in the name of my Xiao Mansion."

"They're about to take people out of town. It's too late to go after them now."

Su Qingtian did know that Zhou Jingwan had come to find something about her, but she fell asleep until now due to lack of energy.

After waking up, she was drinking lotus seed soup to warm her stomach, and the doom of Zhou Jingwan and her maid immediately appeared before her eyes.

She had no choice but to put down the leftover lotus seed soup, and rushed out in a hurry.

"Go to the mansion and tell the mansion soldiers who are watching the night to follow me to the city gate to rob people."

After Su Qingtian finished speaking to the porter, she turned to look at the servant in Qingfeng Building.

"You go to the Yamen to report the case, explain everything clearly, and at the same time tell them that we went to the city gate."

"Treasurer Qian."

The man stared blankly at the little girl's clear arrangement, and suddenly he was called and responded immediately, "Yes!"

"You go with me."

Before the man could understand, Su Qingtian was already walking towards the gate of the city.

The little steps were fast and backwards, as if trying to walk faster.

Seeing the little girl walking alone in the dark, shopkeeper Qian hurriedly chased after her.

The little concierge and the servant who were left behind were still digesting Su Qingtian's order. They looked at each other and set off towards their respective mission points separately.

The little concierge ran wildly all the way, and as soon as he reached the backyard, he encountered a night watch team.

"Brother Chen!"

The little concierge panted heavily, and looked at the captain Nie Chen, "Hurry up! The young lady left the mansion and headed towards the city gate. Hurry up and lead someone to chase after her."

As he spoke, he kept pointing in the direction of the gate.

Nie Chen frowned, and before the porter could explain too much, he immediately led his team of brothers out of the mansion, and rushed towards Su Qingtian on the other side of the road.

The little lady is the treasure on the tip of Old General Xiao's heart. As the captain of the army, Nie Chen naturally knows it. He also understands that his little lady is different from other little babies, and has some special body.

The little concierge didn't explain why the little lady left the house in the middle of the night, but the most important thing for Nie Chen was to ensure the safety of the little lady, and finding the right people first was the key.

Soon, a group of people caught up with Su Qingtian and Shopkeeper Qian at the entrance of East Street in Dongfang City

Nie Chen blocked the way of the two of them, and his vigilant eyes searched back and forth for Shopkeeper Qian.

"Little Miss."

Nie Chen folded his fists and lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, and the night is heavy with dew, please come back to the house with us, Miss, to rest early."

Hearing Nie Chen's words of dissuasion, Su Qingtian knew that the porter hadn't told him what happened tonight.

But she has always been a person who is too lazy to talk nonsense, pointing to a carriage walking slowly at the end of the street.

Su Qingtian said, "Stop that carriage, they are pretending to be Xiao's house and committing crimes!"

Nie Chen was startled by what the little lady said, and he got up and looked towards the carriage in the dark.

It seems that it is indeed the frame of Fuchu, but no one went out by car tonight.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, impersonating the Xiao family to do evil is extraordinary, and Nie Chen issued the order directly.

"Stop the carriage!"

Following an order, the government soldiers behind him quickly chased after the carriage in front.

I don't know if this carriage didn't want to attract attention or for other reasons, it didn't speed on the empty road, but drove out of the city at a leisurely pace.

The government soldiers immediately surrounded it and forced the carriage to stop.

When Nie Chen approached the carriage with the little lady in his arms, he was immediately shocked by the carriage frame that was exactly the same as his own.

Half an hour ago, Nie Chen personally counted the stables to make sure no one went out.

The grooms in the mansion also rested early, and the horses were safe and sound in the stables.

It seems that just like what the little lady said, the frame in front of me came out of the Xiao Mansion on purpose.
